Kimbula Banis/Kibula Banis/Srilankan Sugar Coated Buns

Srilankan cuisine is a very familiar cuisine for me as i have couple of Srilankan friends here in Paris. Most of their dishes ressembles as much as like South Indian cooking style. When i picked Sinhalese Recipes as theme for the first week of this new year's blogging marathon, i immediately checked with one of my close buddyfor some unique Sinhalese dishes. She talked much about this Sugar coated buns aka Kimbula Banis. Obviously i checked for the recipe through google and got the recipe o my friend's childhood favourite buns. This buns are easily found all over Srilanka and this buns makes a super filling snack to enjoy with a cup of freshly prepared Ceylon tea.

Kimbula means Crocodile in Sinhala, since this buns have their shape as like crocodiles, the name is derived from the shape of the bun. However the rolling and shaping part of this buns sounds almost like French croissants apart from the sugar crystals sprinkled on the top of this buns. Very easy buns to bake as this snack or breakfast friendly buns asks for easy ingredients we usually use for baking breads or buns at home. Bake this Srilankan Kimbula banis and enjoy for your snacks.
